ASUS ROG Spatha X Wireless Gaming Mouse MMO MOBA Design 12 Programmable Buttons Right-Handed 168g Dual-Mode Wired 2

Would ideally rate it 4/5, but considering that we have few 'dependable' gaming mouse options and Asus has stepped in with a sturdy technical build I'm putting it at 5. Aside from the usual plus points shared with similar mice, few things I've noticed: Pros - Perhaps only mouse that I've used so far that work almost equally well on hard and cloth pads. It doesn't drag heavy on soft pads yet still has a sense of 'stickiness' for flicks. It also doesn't slip/scatter your aim on hard pads. - Bit heavy, but its a plus as the movements are smooth and actions feel more .. controlled. - 8khz polling. I turned this on only after a recent pc upgrade. On my earlier (quite old i7) machine the cpu couldn't handle it and caused fps drops. Have 0 such drops now, make sure to have a newish multicore cpu. - Extremely well build and polished well, no rubber surface that might peel off later. Cons - Everyone talks of it, and Armory Crate is.. famous. From now on I'll keep it on a backup laptop to customize settings which get saved to the mouse onboard memory anyway. - that teeny joystick by the thumb might be a + for some, I haven't found ways to apply it effectively. I removed it and had the shielded cap plugged in place. But AC still installs a 'virtual' mouse and keyboard on my pc, least one of which is because of the joystick I suspect. These don't cause any issues as such, but I don't have a preference for it. - No dpi switch button near mouse wheel, but I remapped the the wheel click for it. Neutral - 32k sensor. Might be useful for multi monitor setups I guess. I tried it for a bit, applying appropriate fractions to mouse sensitivity in Overwatch, but it felt similar to lower dpi and higher sens. Not knocking on this sensor in particular, have seen similar for other high dpi mice too - SteelSeries, Logitech, etc. If it lasts long enough without performance issues, I can see this one as a favorite.

I know people are like “this mouse is sooo heavy” its just the nerds. Who wanna complain about things. This mouse is overall the best mouse i have EVER had. Totally worth the upgrade from ROG Gladius 2 ive been rocking for years lol. This has programmable buttons. Responsive clicks. You can even replace them clicky mechanical keys very easily. And the mouse has a great surface too. If you have a good quality mouse pad. I dont think you would have any issue sliding the mouse around. Oh the battery. I literally TRIED HARD TO DRAIN IT. Played COD for like 14 hours straight. And then next day did some heavy gaming. Took me 3 DAYS to totally bring it to 20% 🙏. such an amazing mouse. Love it tho. Rgbs are also amazing. Different modes love it Read more

This mouse has great connectivity and a long battery. I recharge it once a week with daily usage (2-3 hours per day). It has a perfect weight for me. It feels sturdy and has been very accurate in games. The customization of the lights and buttons are amazing. I can setup profiles for different games. Everything is adjustable, even scrolling speed. I highly suggest it as a long time gamer. Read more

I really like this mouse. The size and shape are perfect for my large hands, and it feels very comfortable during long gaming or work sessions. The build quality is excellent and the mouse feels like a true professional device. The only thing to note is that the adjustable buttons on the left side are a bit hard to reach at first — they don’t align perfectly with my fingers. But after getting used to the grip, it becomes much easier and very functional. Overall, it’s a high-end, responsive, and powerful mouse. I enjoyed using it and I’m very satisfied with the performance. Read more

Wanted to love this mouse so badly! I went back and forth on returning it for days because I love the charging dock, the response time, the price, the quality, battery life, and the large size of this mouse. It is extremely comfortable, but I have a few complaints that resulted in its return: - Not enough buttons. Most MMO mice have up to 12 programmable buttons as most MMO's have an action bar of that size. You'll find a few that have less like ESO though. Most MMO mice have a grid pattern for their side buttons whereas this one is asymmetrical with buttons located in other places which is great if you want that. Unfortunately the Corsair Darkstar MMO Mouse also has this but more buttons to work with which is what I needed. I sadly ended up going with that mouse as I needed more function over form. - Side buttons are super low quality. The buttons move around when you push them and they have a cheap, unsatisfying click to them. I could probably look past this if the mouse had enough buttons but can't in this case and is worth mentioning. - Although very minor, this mouse is only 1000Hz versus the 2000-8000Hz that competitors offer. In the grand scheme of things, that's not going to be very noticable and would take a hit on the battery. Overall this wouldn't have swayed my decision on keeping the mouse like the two former issues but also worth mentioning for those that might want to know. Read more
